After tonight's performance, I think we have every chance of finishing in the top 21.

I gather it was pretty dire again, Dan. Luckily, lots of the teams below us lost.
I go back to the confidence thing. One lucky win might be all that is needed to turn things round.
On some of the other sites, people do have a tendency to over-complicate things. The latest conspiracy theory seems to be based on the idea that the players are unwilling to play for Lambert because he trains them too hard.
Quite bizarre.
I too saw that about the training and had to have a laugh
it's a simple thing to where it's going wrong
we are not taking our chances at any level you cannot afford game on game to need 10-15 chances to score you will get punished
I will admit I wasn't there tonight or will be on Saturday so hopefully Howie or Dan will fill us in but I understand it was some more of the same from the rovers.
Back to the prediction
we are no better than mid table and I think 10-12th should be the aim any lower is not good enough
summer is crucial if next season is the one to go up then we need alot of players this current batch is just simply not promotion material.
Well for you lads that wern't there, my eyes say: it was very dull for about 80 minutes. Both teams failing to really do much. The QPR goal was a comical error from Steel, so the defence should take credit. Rovers football was less pressing than it has been recently, it looks like Lambert is trying to get a balance between attacking and defending. Aside from Apkan's goal, the highlight of the game was the introduction of Chris Brown, where instead of getting all moody about it, the crowd cheered ironically. It was hillarious. That said, Williamson played at the top of his game and made us better prospect to get a result. All in all, still very much a work in progress with no where near enough quality in the team to compete with the football Lambert wants. I think without a doubt it can be said that Boywer had taken this team as far as he could, because basically, there really is nowhere else to take them. He got a lot more out of them than we ever gave credit for. On the plus side, the
getting back to the op
way below Burnley
The positives,which I keep on harping about like an African grey parrot,are the reasonably good defending performances. Purely on a pragmatic basis,this is the most cost effective way to improve. Zero entertainment but making the very few goals count...a method moderately sucessfully employed by Sean Dyche at our neighbours Burnley. To play like Tottenham,Man.City or Arsenal(forget about Real Madrid or Barcelona) would cost a lot of serious money as well as introducing more pacey players who are on average more injury-prone(just look at Josh King and Rueben Rochina for us). So no worse than 18th for me this season......;D
That goes without sayingQuote:

Just look at the match at Ewood this season 1-0 to Burnley. You were defending & time-wasting for grim death.....but still got the result.
